THE Coercion bill goes through the
House of COmmons by = vote of 332 to lG3.
The Parnellites did not vote. Had they
voted the majority tor coercion would have
been reduced to 100.
This bill gives the Lord Lieutenant OF
Ireland power to proclaim so called dan
gerous associations and punish accordingly.
This is construed a. directed against the
Irish National League. When the bill Is
put in operation imprsOnments and OpPres-
sion and punishment are expected to fol-
low. Since Ireland was united with Eng
land in 1900, some eighty or ninety
coercion bills have been passed and en-
forced by all the power the Government
could summon, but TO no purpose. Let
them enforce the new law TO the letter and
imprison rs they may the result will not
be any better than in former years.

Getting Even With the Teller.


There is in Washington a small boy, not
more than 10 years Of age, whose indul-
gent mother keeps him well supplied with
pocket money. The young man opened an
account with a local savings bank some
time ago, and on the 1st of April he had
deposited there about $35. Two or three
days later he had a falling out with the
teller ofthe institution. For nearly a week
be tried to think up some method for set
Ting the score, and at last he hit upon a
plan that would have done credit to
a Comanehe Indian. He went to the
bank and drew out $50 from his store.
Then he went over to the treasury build
ing, which is Just across the street, and had
his three tens converted into thirty
zones" Next he proceeded to take out
thirty deposit slips, each for 81. These
he carried to the bank one at time, COM
pelling the poor teller to make out thirty
separate entries in his books. The follow
ing day this young fiend again drew out
$50. Again he visited the treasury, but
this time he had his money changed into
silver quarters, bright from the mint. One
hundred and twenty deposit tickets were
then prepared, and a correspond
ing number Of entries had
to be made in that unfortunate ~teller's big
books. Then foo three days an armistice
was declared, but ut the end of that time
$50 was again drawn out, and this time
when the boy visited the treasury build
ing it was dimes that he wanted. The
regulation deposit slips were prepared once
more, and the teller gritted his teeth when
he saw that he WAS again to be made the
victim of that boys yindictiyeness. At
last the 300 dimes were all in the bank,
and the young villain prepared to reduce
the store OF his wealth to nickels, but he
was notified that the bank would insist
upon the 80 days notice allowed by law,
and for q time the teller rests.

LONDON'S CELEBRATION OF THE
QUEENS JUBILEE.

QUEENS JUBILEE.
The Queens Jubilee is TO be celebrated
in London on next Tuesday, and the
most gorgeous day thai this city has ever
seen will occur. A little history of the
great Queen is Of interestjust at this time.
VICTORIA ALEXANDRIA, was born sixty
eight years ago, the daughter Of the Duke OF
Kent, and the grand daughter of GEORGE
III, who figured in the time Of the
American revolution. At that time it was
never thought that she would succeed to
the crown OF England. Her father, the
Duke Of Kent, the fourth son Of King
GEORGE III, was living, and it was not
certain that she would become his heiress;
the subsequent birth Of younger brother
would have excluded her. But her
fathers three oldest brothers also lived.
There was indeed no prospect that the
Prince Of Wales, princs-regent, Subsequent
Iy reigning as GEORGE ", or
the second of the royal princes.
FREDERICK, Duke Of York, would
leave issue. But the third Of
VICToRIA's u~neles, the duke Of Carenee,
subsequently King WILLIAM ", was
married Onlya year before, and a daughter
had been born 10 him two months before
VICToRIA's birth. That child did not
live, but when the future queen was a
gear old another daughter was born to the
duke of Clarence who, Of course, in the

life of the average generation. The em-

One knife was made of q file blade and 1t

all shapes and forms, and the thick set,
blonde haired, blue-eyed man told me that
many Of the arrests made were accom-
panied by blOOdshed. Beside these
knives were some of the plates, dies
and molds used for making

terCeit dollar can be made of anthony and

made to feel and ring like the dollar oil

are many counterfeit nickels IN circulation

The Soldiers Home.

The Michigan Soldiers Home is an insti-
tuition that does credit to the peninsular
state. and proves to the world that the old
soldier and his invaluable services to the
country have not been forgotten by CRATE
full people. The institution is in no sense a
charity, bat only a recognition of the right
of those who periled their lives in defense of
their country. to a peaceful and quiet home
when, by reason of poverty or misfortune.
they may be unable to care for themselves.
We should all rejoice that, in our own Mich
igan, no old soldier need ever again become
a pauper.
The NoRTHERNEB regrets very much that,
even at this early day, complaints have been
made that the treatment of the inmates OF
the home is not what it should be, and ear
nestly hopes that such charges may prove to
be groundless and without foundation. In
the language of an esteemed contemporary
the old veterans should not be treated as
paupers, but as the guests of the state and,
if there are any grievances that require
redress, any wrongs that need to be righted
no time should be lost in their investigation
and correction. Doubtless, the Legislative
committee appointed to visit the home will
make thorough and searching inquiry into
the matter and ascertain what, if anything,
is amiss.
There is another thing i'll connection with
the institution that is worthy of notice.
Many of the old, poverty stricken soldiers
have wives who were as patriotic as their
husbands. and who are equally entitled to
the kind and affectionate remembrance of
the people. Many an old soldier would
rather become an inmate of poor house in
company with his faithful wife than to enjoy
all the comforts of the most elegant home
and be separated from her. Pow would care
to enter the home and leave their wives
behind, to spend the remainder of their days
in the county poor house and to die paupers,
The full measure of the benevolence and
gratitude OF the people OF Michigan will not
be melted out until provision shall be made
for the aged wife and the war-worn veteran
TO spend their last days together in peace
and quietude, where they may enjoy such
degree Of contentment and happiness as,
under the circumstances, may be attainable
for them.

appeal being by opposite parties. What is
the result? An equally divided court afiirms
both cases, and we have one rule of law for
one judicial circuit and a directly opposite
rule for another, and no settled rule for the
balance of the state. Such decision does
not settle the law, but leaves it for each cir
cult Judge to settle for himself. One judge
may decide it one way and his successor the
other. This is not desirable state of affairs,
nor is il one that is unlikely to occur. In
deed, it did actually exist in the most impor
tant statute in the state-the tax law. The
court was equally divided in regard to its
constitutionality, and we had the strange
spectacle of law upon which the very exist
ence of our state and municipal governments
depended being constitutional in one part
of the state and unconstitutional in another
locality. This could never have happened
had there been Ave Justices of the supreme
court instead of four. There may be other
reasons for an additional member of the
court, but the NoRrHRRNER believes that the
one above noticed is o valid and ample one,
and full justification for such addition.

APrEH an exhaustive review of the author
tiles, Judge MILLS, in quite lengthy opinion,
overruled the challenge to the array of jurors
made by Judge HnToN, in the case of the
People vs. LABADIE, and the jurors who have
been summoned for the present term will be
required TO be in attendance on Monday
next, at which time the court will enter upon
the trial of criminal causes, the LADADIE case
being first on call. The judge seemed TO be
quite decided in his opinion, bat admitted
that good lawyers might disagree with him
and that, perhaps, he might be overruled.
Understanding tho law as he did, he could
come to no other conclusion. Should he be
sustained, the question of the legality of
juries would be much simplfied while, if his
Judgment is reversed, the procuring of per-
sons to act as jurors becomes surrounded
with technicalities, and additional legislation
would be required to simplify the method of
procedure. Certainly, a matter of such i'm
portance to the speedy and orderly admins
tration of justice should be made as free as
possible from all legal technicality and red
tape. Should conviction be had in the
case, it will, in all probability, be carried to
the supreme court, where the law can be
authortatively settled.

The Circuit Judgeship.

Perhaps many of our readers may not IN
derstand why the NoRrHKRsEn commented
on the question of the circuit judgeship a
so early day and thus so alarmed the Tele
graph as to call out the following reply:
The mercury is altogether too low for oui
genial friends of the Paw Paw TRUE NORTH
gRNRR and Decatur Republican to get sweaty
or captious over the judicial situation. We
hope they won't do it. Time enough to get
gin to blow.
The paragraph above quoted was evidently
intended to convey the idea that nothing
was then being done by ambitious Kalama-
ZOO politicians towards securing the position
The fact is, the campaign began within ff-
teen minutes after it was authoritatively all
nounced that Judge MILLS would not accept
a denomination, and the first mail to this
county was loaded with letters from would
be political leaders asking assistance, as usu-
al, for Kalamazoo man. Van Buren, is
didates of the party, under almost any cir
cumstances and has long been trained in al
lowing Kalamazoo to name such candidates
but we see no reason for the Telegraph to
get excited because the NoRTHmRNEE simply
suggests that Van Buren, has men capable of
filling the Office ably and satisfactorily. We
still insist that the claims of this county are
entitled to some consideration within the
lines of the party.
AS We have before stated, Kalamazoo now
has one judge of the supreme court, one
Judge of the U. S. district court, U. s. sena-
tor, congressman and circuit Judge, to say
nothing of several minor Offices. 1t has been
ever thus; it will always remain 80 unless
Van Buren, puts forward good men and gives
them hearty and united support. She has
men who are worthy of the position and
competent to fill il, and we hope to SEQ such
a man presented and backed by our delega-
ton as unit. Only in this way can justice
be secured, and our rightful position in po-
litical affairs be maintained

THE prohibition state central committee,
at q recent meeting, adopted a resolution
fsvoring the position of the republican party
on the submission question and pledging
their party to work for its success at the
polls. This is far more sensible than the
attitude of Editor CREssEY of the Center,
who has advised prohibitionists to have
nothing to do with the matter, and who. in
speech delivered in this village once upon n
time, declared that the prohibition party did
not want prohibition at the hands of any
party except the prohibition party. How
ever, it is but just to the Center to say that
it seems to have experienced a recent change
of heart, and now advises prohibitionists to
buckle on their armor and be prepared for a
vigorous campaign, in case opportunity is
offered.

RRy. Senator Greenback DEYo, who pre-
tends TO be an ardent prohibitionist and a
sincere devotee of temperance reform, OPP
poses the submission of the prohibitory
amendment, because it comes from the
republican party. He argues that the repub-
licans do not desire prohibition, and there
fore-strange logic-his duty is to oppose it.
Even conceding his statement to be true, for
the sake of the argument, there is no consist
ency in his position. II majority of the
people desire constitutional prohibition
and unless they do SO desire we cannot have
it-the motives OF the men who give them
the opportunity to vote on the question
cannot affect the result. Prohibition voted
under republican amendment would stand
in the same relation as if voted under pro-
hibition or greenback amendment. The
truth of the matter is that the Rev. demo
greenback stumper's hatred of the republican
party is greater than his love for the temper
ance cause. He places party before principle,
and would rather sacrifice the cause he
pretends to love and to advocate on high
moral and christian grounds, than to have
his own party suffer or lose an apparent
opportunity TO stab the republican party.
even though that party is trying to accom-
plish the very result be has pretended to
work and pray for.
